Liberal candidate for Pittwater, Rory Amon, welcomed the Perrottet Government’s $255,000 capability boost for Northern Beaches’ NSW State Emergency Services (SES) volunteers with the delivery of a new Medium Storm Vehicle and General Purpose Trailer.
Mr Amon said the new equipment will be a huge help for the local volunteers, who will be able to use it for storm damage operations, including dealing with complex tree and roof situations, and flood rescues.
In the same line, the member for Pittwater Rob Stokes said the new vehicle and trailer are a welcome sight following relentless rain and flooding over the past year.
“These new assets will help our volunteers better protect the community, keeping residents safer and stronger when severe weather strikes.”
Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience Steph Cooke, SES Commissioner Carlene York, SES volunteers and staff were present during the receiving of the keys to the new vehicle and equipment.
